How to break down the Chris Bosh/Miami Heat saga? On one side, you have a seasoned veteran who has helped win two championships and desperately wants to play with his team in their quest for a third. On the other side, the team- who desperately and equally want him to play- has not and most... Read More
Baseball is my one true love. There’s nothing quite like going to the park on a Sunday afternoon, soaking in some Rays, and watching two teams play the game that I love. But last night, Home Box Office, or HBO, if you will, may have stolen my heart in the form of Game of Thrones.... Read More
Welcome to Two-fer Tuesday. Everything you could ever want is done with two choices! Want a new President? Two choices. Not sure what to eat for lunch? Two choices. And don’t forget the plethora of NBA Playoff games. Just two. Plus, a special presentation of Canadian basketball which starts at 6pm EST. Two-fer Tuesday is... Read More
I realize this defeats the purpose of rolling out my picks one by one, but I suspect there will be a bajillion runs scored in Colorado on Monday night. Soft tossing lefty Jeff Locke (7.24 ERA) will face right-hander Chad Bettis (84.6% medium-to-hard contact rate) in a game that, as of this writing, Vegas hasn’t... Read More
It’s Three Game Thursday and the stars will be out in force. All the big boys, sans Steph Curry, are primed for huge playoff performances and gobs of minutes. There are a few injuries to watch out for, so make sure to stay vigilant all the way up to gametime. In this article, I will... Read More
Just two games on tap for the NBA Playoff schedule, but that doesn't mean there aren't many possibilities for various lineups. There is definitely a way to create a nice stars and “scrubs” lineup, soldiering the best matchups at each position. But how often do those lineups hit. I intend to have at least some... Read More
Over the weekend, a fan got a lot of attention at the Philadelphia-Washington game. Apparently, a gentleman wrote a sign that read, “I drove 4000 miles to see Bruce Harper!” Of course, anyone who knows baseball knows that his first name is Bryce, not Bruce. Further investigation revealed that the fan actually intended to misspell... Read More
Tuesday night has the potential to get real silly. With pretty much nothing left to play for most teams on tap and coaches opting to shut down more and more players, as well as only five games on tap, we could see a lot of weird lineups. I’m talking about teams that are short $1,000... Read More
One week down in the 2016 MLB season and we’re already starting to see those wild price fluctuations that are oh-so rare in August. Be sure to check the names of players dropping in price. Sometimes that aging veteran at $3,200 is a better play than that red hot up-and-comer priced at $4,500. Except Tyler... Read More
We’re running out of time! With just about 10 games left per team, the NBA regular season is fast approaching its demise. It’s sad really that we must say goodbye. Until we do, we’re going to continue to pump out amazing recommendations that feature mostly silly value plays on non-playoff teams. That’s where the true... Read More

Except it’s actually 10 steps. And by steps, we actually mean articles to help you win daily fantasy baseball with a focus... Read More
It was probably a good thing that the NBA did not host any matchups on Monday. Aside from the obvious of the NCAA Championship game, it would have been way too difficult to research EVERY baseball and basketball game. So thank you, NBA. I look forward to making you the primary source of DFS for... Read More
You will have to forgive me if I come off a bit out of touch with baseball today. Sunday night’s episode of The Walking Dead is still on my mind. Who did Negan kill!? Was it Glenn, Abraham, Darryll? We won’t even know for a few months. Looks like I will have to rely on... Read More
Why watch daytime television? If you love soap operas with cheesy acting, ninety degree plot line turns, and sex scandals, just tune in to the Los Angeles Lakers every night. For those of us that do not enjoy “As the Lakers Turn,” we will just play a nice sweet game short slate Thursday. In this... Read More
Basketball is beginning to wind down, but that doesn’t mean that you should. There is plenty of value on the board, perhaps more so now than at any point during the season. The Nets and Pelicans aren’t the sexiest of teams, in fact they are downright ugly, but their high volume, low budget players are... Read More
There’s something about making bold predictions that is just plain fun. We’ve basically been given carte blanche to make 10 absurd statements, support some empirical evidence, and voila. You have yourself an educated baseball piece. Think the Phillies are going to win the pennant? Throw some nonsensical stats out there to prove your point! I... Read More
How can any of us that live in the New York area take attorney general Eric Schneiderman seriously? On Monday, DFS sites including DraftKings launched multiple statements proclaiming that they have reached a deal with the state of New York and will not offer pay for contests to its residents. Within moments of hearing the... Read More
Top ‘O the mornin’ to ya! Despite it being St. Patrick’s Day, and despite it being the true opening round of the NCAA tournament, and despite you most likely skipping work and/or school, check out all the NBA action going on Thursday night! With so much emphasis on the tourney, there’s bound to be some... Read More
As if the world hasn’t gotten enough of Drake, NBA fans got more of him last night. During a throw in by Justin Holiday in Chicago’s bout against Toronto, Drake had some words for the savvy youngster and apparently got in his head. Of course ESPN had to cram that down our collective throat, so... Read More
Can you smell it? Not what The Rock is cooking but the madness that is beginning to ensue. The conference and NCAA tournaments are always a favorite of mine to watch. Sure there’s the usual bracket bedlam that transpires. But I absolutely love watching young players that will soon be playing in the Association. And... Read More
Insane. That’s the only word I could come up with to describe the last few days in the DFS industry. The point totals for cash games have been out of this world over the last few days. Don’t fret. The numbers will stabilize shortly while the prices of players catch up over the next day... Read More

I could really get used to the Warriors playing the Thunder every single day. You know there is going to be a billion fantasy points and you know that only Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are going to score 75% of those fantasy points from the Thunder’s side of the ball. I don’t know about... Read More
To Curry or not to Curry. That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings of his treys should he play or to take the cap hit and possibly see the dreaded “out” near his name. I tried my best to incorporate some Hamlet and educate you degenerate daily fantasy... Read More

The time is right to employ an ultimate stars and scrubs strategy on Thursday night. With KD, Brook, the Brow and the Beard all on the board with plus matchups, it just feels right. And hey, maybe even Dwight Howard could get a mention in today’s DFS DraftKings piece. Spoiler Alert: He doesn’t. In this... Read More
The Beard, the Brow, and Boogie are all out on Tuesday night. There’s about a 0.001% chance that all three will be on your DraftKings squad, but somehow, someway maybe two of those three can make it. You can do it, coach. You can do it all night long. I really hope you read that... Read More
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Wow. What a full slate of games on tap for the NBA in this post-NFL world we now live in. For months my girlfriend and friends have been begging me to leave the living room on Sundays, something I wasn’t able to do and I think we all know why. It’ll be... Read More
